Beschreibung

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.
Using the analytical framework of reproductive justice, this book examines migrant women's experiences of pregnancy and maternity care within the broader context of gendered and racialised discourses and policies around health, reproduction and citizenship, austerity and an expanding border regime.
Based on interviews and focus groups with migrant mothers, third sector workers and NHS staff, it explores how immigration policies impact reproductive practices and unevenly distribute access to essential resources and support.
The book provides valuable insights into the underlying social causes behind migrant women's relatively poor maternal outcomes and contributes significantly to scholarship on the intersections of citizenship, reproduction and expanding border controls.
